[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Required scores this year so harder than prior year, but not harder/the same as 2019.[/quote] Most schools didn’t require scores.[/quote]

Very few schools required or would even accept scores this year for 9th grade admissions.[/quote]

Making the process even more opaque and allowing the schools to give even more weight to hooks. [/quote] For crying out loud the schools have ALWAYS had a spectrum of test scores. They want a combination of talents and based on my experience even surprise admits based on people’s preconceived notions on who should get in have five exceptionally well at these schools. The simple fact is you don’t know what special talents a particular school covers on any given year, hot shot soccer phenom may get admitted one year and a similar kid is rejected the next. Having a 99% on one test is not how schools make their decisions. [/quote]

Exactly. It’s a black box [/quote]
